My goodness

Does anyone know (or care to speculate), what's the origin of the phrase template "full of [noun]-y goodness"?

It sounds like it ought to have come from an advert or something. But it's been used for so long with the speaker's choice of interpolated noun, I have no idea at all what the original might have been.

It does, but I think if so they were playing on something already familiar from our childhood sort of era.

I'd agree with both those comments. Problem is if it's Buffy it could well have been a childhood memory us Brits didn't get.
